Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a helmet storage device for a scooter in which a seat is used as a lid.

(Prior Art) Many 82-wheeled vehicles are equipped with a helmet holding device so that the rider does not have to carry the helmet he wears while driving when parking the vehicle. In this case, the scooter has a rear body under the seat, and there is a certain amount of space inside, so by organizing other parts, it is possible to create a storage compartment for a helmet using the seat as a lid.

However, since the helmet has a relatively large volume, is rigid, and has no flexibility in shape, the volume of the storage chamber becomes large, and the helmet becomes particularly cramped in the vertical direction. This is because scooters have a unit swing engine that is integrated with the rear wheel under the rear body, so it is necessary to set the storage space at a position where it does not interfere with the upper limit of its stroke, so the seat height must be raised. Otherwise, it is required to reduce the stroke of the unit swing engine to reduce the shock absorbing performance of the rear wheel, and unless this is done, it is almost impossible to install a helmet storage room.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, in scooters that have a helmet storage room in the rear body under the seat, it is difficult to set the seat height or the shock absorbing stroke of the unit swing engine (rear wheel) to the required dimensions. There is a problem. This invention focuses on the fact that the helmet is not stowed when driving when rear wheel cushioning is required, and by lowering the seat height and increasing the cushioning stroke of the unit swing engine, the helmet can be easily accommodated within the rear body. The purpose is to obtain a scooter helmet storage device that can be used.

(Structure of the Invention) (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, a helmet storage device for a scooter according to the present invention is provided with a head pipe that supports a front wheel in a steerable manner, and a seat 1 that is mounted on a head pipe that can be opened and closed. A step board is installed with a low indentation between the rear body and the J3 scooter, which has a unit swing engine integrated with the rear wheel under the rear body, and a helmet storage chamber is formed in the rear body under the seat. The helmet seat is provided with a helmet seat that can be raised and lowered, and the helmet seat is locked or biased in the raised position when the helmet is not placed on it.

(Function) With this structure, when driving a scooter, the helmet is taken out and put on, so the helmet seat is held in a high position, and the unit swing engine makes a large stroke due to the cushioning effect of the rear wheel. do not interfere with each other.

When storing the helmet that was taken off when parking, the helmet seat lowers, but at this time the load is reduced by the rider's position, and the unit swing engine is further away from the rear body downwards, so there is no space to store the helmet. Can be secured.

In other words, the space inside the rear body can be set to the minimum necessary size to accommodate a helmet without considering the size of the stroke when a load greater than the vehicle weight is applied, and the seat height can be lowered accordingly. Can be done.

(Example) DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The drawings showing embodiments of the present invention will be explained below.

In FIG. 1, the scooter has a front wheel 1 steered by a handle 3 and a rear wheel 2 driven by an engine 4 arranged at the front, and there is a low indentation between the seat 5 at the upper rear and the handle 3. A step board 6 is laid down, and a relatively large volume rear body 7 is formed below the seat 5.

The frame is constructed with pipes or the like to have the required strength and shape, and in this case, a front frame 9 supporting the head pipe 8 extends along the indented part to the center, and a pair of rear frames 10 extend upward from the rear end. It will be constructed over the following years.

11 is a front fork, and 12 is a front cushion unit.

The engine 4 is generally of a unit swing type, and has a swing case 1 extending from one side of the crankcase in a diagonal direction.
The rear wheel 2 is pivotally supported on the rear part of the frame 3, and the front part is pivoted to the front frame 9 by a pivot 14 so as to be movable up and down, and is interposed between the rear part and the rear frame 10. It is buffered and suspended by a cushion unit 15. 16 is a carburetor, and 17 is an air cleaner.

The rear fender 18 is fixed to the rear frame 10, and a fuel tank 19 and an oil tank (not shown) are placed in the rear part 7a of the gluing body on the upper surface thereof. coated. Seat 5 beam V body 7 top surface? Hinge 2 at the yr end
0, so that it can be opened and closed freely, and the opening 21 on the inner surface of the rear body 7 is covered by a seat lock device (not shown). A helmet storage chamber 23 partitioned by a partition wall 22 is formed in the front half of the rear body 7 .

Next, the storage chamber 23 in the rear body 7 has an opening 21.
A bellows-like inflatable storage bag 24 connected to the periphery is suspended. The storage bag 24 has a cross-sectional area large enough to accommodate the helmet 25. Reference numeral 26 denotes a hanging cord that is hooked to the bottom plate 27 and holds the storage bag 24 in a contracted state.

When the scooter is running, the storage bag 24 is held in a contracted state in this way, and the reaction unit 15 may be contracted due to the weight of the rider or the impact load during riding, and the unit swing engine may approach the V-body 7. too(
(shown by a solid line in the figure), interference between the carburetor 16 and the bottom plate 27, which are closest to each other, can be avoided. Small items can be stored in a reduced storage bag 24 while traveling.

When the vehicle is parked, there is no load other than the weight of the vehicle, and the unit swing engine is far away, so the suspension string 26 is removed, the storage bag 24 is extended, and the helmet 25 is stored (as shown in the dotted line).
, cover and lock the sheet 5. It will be safer if the unit swing engine is locked in this state.

Therefore, the helmet storage chamber 23 can be set to a size that can accommodate the helmet 25 based on the unit swing engine when the load is light, and the rear body 7 can be downsized and the seat height can be made sufficiently low.

Figure 2 shows another embodiment, in which the helmet storage compartment 2
3. An elevating plate 28 whose rear end edge is pivoted to the partition wall 22 is provided at the bottom, and is always urged upward by a spring 29.

Further, reference numeral 30 denotes a locking device that holds the elevating plate 28 in the raised position, and can be engaged and detached from the outside. In this state, you can store small items.

As in the previous embodiment, interference with the carburetor 16 is avoided by raising the elevator plate 28 while driving and lowering it to place the helmet 25 when parking.

FIG. 3 shows yet another embodiment, in which the helmet storage chamber 2
A flexible mass-produced product 32 suspended from four sides by rubber bands 31 is provided inside the product 3. Under normal conditions, the rubber band 31 is sufficiently compressed and the mass production 32 is in a high position.When parking, the helmet 25 is placed upside down on the mass production 32, and the rubber band 31
Stretch out and push down to lock seat 5. Interference can be avoided by using the helmet separately when driving without stowing it and when parking with it stowed, and the helmet can be stored by lowering the seat height and downsizing the V-body.

In addition to the helmet seats such as the bottom plate 27, the lifting plate 28, and the mass-produced helmet seats 32 shown in the above embodiments, helmet seats of any shape and material can be used, and the lifting mechanism and means for locking and urging the raised position are No question.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the helmet storage device for a scooter according to the present invention includes a helmet storage chamber in a rear body in which a seat is used as a stealth vehicle, and a helmet seat that can be raised and lowered is provided, and the helmet seat is locked or biased in the raised position. By keeping this helmet seat in the raised position when driving without a helmet, and lowering it with a helmet on it when parking with a light load, interference with the unit swing engine can be avoided and the rear body can be made smaller. In addition to lowering the seat height, the rear wheel l! This has the effect of increasing the impact stroke and improving the impact performance.
